CAST YOUR VOTE

Voting for the Golden Space Needle Audience Awards this year will once again take place digitally on your own devices with our partner Votemo. After each screening, you'll have one hour to cast your vote via a QR code that you’ll scan on a slide after the film’s credits have rolled, or on a sign in the lobby on your way out of the theater.

STEP 1: Get your tickets! You don’t need to see every film to cast your vote. Tickets and passes are on sale now.

STEP 2: After each screening, you'll have one hour to cast your vote by scanning a QR code provided by our digital voting partner Votemo that will appear on a slide on screen after the film’s credits have finished, or on a sign in the lobby on your way out of the theater.

STEP 3: Vote! All that’s left to do now is cast your vote and let us know what you think. Rate the film you’ve seen from 1 to 5 stars (with 5 being the best). Once the votes are tallied, we will announce the winners on Sunday, May 17, on our website, and on our socials @siffnews.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Venue Information: Check out siff.net/festvenues for details on each venue, including accessibility and parking tips.

Arrive early: Lines start forming up to an hour early, and you must arrive at least 10 minutes before showtime to ensure a seat. Ticket holders or passholders arriving after 10 minutes prior to showtime are considered late and may not be seated. Refer to your ticket or pass for entry guidelines.

Find your line: Follow the signs and be sure to stand in the correct line (Passholders, Ticket Holders, or Standby).

Standby: In the event that all advance tickets have been sold, Standby tickets may become available for purchase. A Standby line will form at the venue, usually one hour before showtime. At approximately 10 minutes before showtime, available seats are counted and sold on a first-come, first-served basis to those in line. Standby tickets are sold only to those waiting in the Standby line at the time of sale. Vouchers are valid as payment. Please note that not all screenings on Standby will have tickets released.

Take a Seat: During the Festival, there is no advanced seat selection. SIFF Cinema Downtown will have open seating.
